Udinese loan defender Edenílson back to Corinthians until the end of the season

Udinese are set to loan defender Edenílson back to Corinthians until the end of the season.

Timão director Ronaldo Ximenes confirmed the agreement after the 1-1 draw with Mogi Mirim in the Campeonato Paulista.

Udinese, who signed Edenílson in January for €3.5 million, don’t have a non-EU spot in their squad available to accommodate the 24 year-old. They had attempted to loan him to Bologna, but after struggling to find an agreement, he will now return to Corinthians, before joining up with Udinese next season.
